Fabrication
Titanium Grade 2 is highly responsive to cold forming using standard techniques. It can be easily machined with a focus on maintaining sharp tools and using ample coolant. Similar to machining austenitic stainless steels, deep and continuous cuts with slow feeds and speeds are essential.
Stock Availability
Daxun Alloys maintains a comprehensive inventory of CP 2 Grade Titanium Seamless and Welded Pipes in various sizes to meet diverse requirements.
Weight Reduction
With a low density and an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, CP 2 grade titanium tubes are ideal for weight-sensitive applications that demand uncompromised strength. They offer excellent cold formability, good ductility, and weldability using conventional TIG and MIG processes, provided inert gas shielding is employed to prevent weld zone embrittlement.
Crystal Structure
At ambient temperatures, ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium tube exhibits an alpha (hexagonal close-packed) crystal structure, akin to commercially pure titanium grades 1 and 3. Upon reaching approximately 885°C (1625°F), it transitions into a beta (body-centered cubic) structure. This transformation temperature varies based on impurity levels and alloying additions, which also create two distinct temperature zones: the alpha transformation zone (all alpha below) and the beta transformation zone (all beta above). In between, both alpha and beta forms coexist. Typical transformation temperatures for Grade 2 titanium are 890°C (1635°F) and 913°C (1675°F) for alpha and beta, respectively.
Grade 2 Titanium Seamless Pipe Manufacturing Process
Daxun's ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium seamless tubes are meticulously crafted from hollow blanks through hot extrusion or oblique rolling and piercing, followed by multiple cold rolling processes. Titanium seamless tubes must maintain continuous perimeters throughout manufacturing. The comprehensive production process includes: sponge titanium vacuum arc melting, ingot blanking for hollow blanks, cleaning, cutting and feeding, hot extrusion or oblique rolling + piercing, degreasing, drying, cutting, online annealing and straightening, pickling, multiple cold rolling, degreasing, drying, vacuum annealing, straightening, final cutting, pickling, inspection, marking (DAXUN), and packaging.
Grade 2 Titanium Welded Pipe Manufacturing Process
Daxun's ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium welded pipe is meticulously crafted from annealed flat-rolled steel plate or steel strip using an advanced automatic arc welding (TIG) process. The primary production stages include: titanium plate uncoiling, shearing, butt welding, cleaning, pipe forming, TIG welding, eddy current testing, pre-sizing, annealing, precision reducing and sizing, straightening, eddy current testing, caliper marking, cutting, ultrasonic testing, hydrostatic testing, final inspection, and packaging. Each welded pipe undergoes at least one stress relief heat treatment post forming and welding. Daxun ensures no filler materials are used during the welding process.
Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Pipe - Grade 5 Titanium Tube
Titanium Alloy - (UNS R56400)
Introduction
DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 (UNS R56400) is the quintessential titanium alloy, recognized for its duplex alpha+beta composition with aluminum as the alpha stabilizer and vanadium as the beta stabilizer. This formidable alloy exhibits high strength at temperatures up to about 800°F (427°C). ATI Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 alloy is ideal for annealing, solution treating, and aging. Its applications are diverse, spanning compressor blades, disks, and rings for jet engines; fuselage and space capsule components; pressure vessels; *** cases; helicopter rotor hubs; fasteners; and critical forgings, all demanding a high strength-to-weight ratio.
